This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

I'm not in the US but I met my wife online, as did a few of my friends. The overall process of finding someone compatible took years though and it wasn't very much fun. It's probably worse now that dating apps are actively invested in keeping you single and swiping.
